Front and rear control wheels, shutter release, on off switch, exposure compensation, ISO, green button, exposure lock and auto focus button. From memory :wink: Does it also has the preview (digital/optical) on the on/off ring?

Yet another K7 question.
So, I my Tamron 18-200 lens does not seem as stellar on my new K7 as it did with my K2000. Not a huge difference, but noticable to me. So, I guess what I am asking is....is the K7 showing the weakness of an inferior lens better than the K2000 did, because of more MP and what-not? The Tamron was m...

Yet another K7 question.
Ok, so I hate to admit this, but on the outdoor shots with the Tamron 18-200 I had mis-placed the lens hood, so wasn't using it. Could that cause slight less contrast? (which, I really think is what I'm looking at as the problem rather than sharpness.) I isolated some leaves, etc very well at...

K20: camera on 'P' mode (MTF) and press the shutter button to meter, focus and expose. The rest of the time I probably use 'M' and autofocus with a half press of the shutter release.

K20D + grip + DA* 16-50, SR = on, AF-S, Centre focus point, pattern metering, Av mode with f8 to start with, ISO 100, focus on AF button, meter and take the shot using shutter button (AF on half press disabled). I change none, some, or all of these to suit a specific situation but with my default...

K-7 with Av or TAv mode. Or M mode for manual lenses. SR on, AF-S, SEL focus point. Centre-weighted metering. AF with shutter button half-press, usually. I have the alterntive AF setup in User mode.

ISO 100. Spain, eh? Hmmm. ISO 800 for Britain :wink: I also have it on ISO100 more often then not. Camera in M-mode and most of the time f/4 or f/5.6, SR always on and always in RAW. Spot metering and selective focus point. Auto focus only under AF button so with my quick-shift lenses are always ...

AV (aperture rear dial \ ISO front) or manual, af on half shutter press, SR always on except when using tripod (or I forget to turn it off :oops:) ISO 100 or up to 400 if neccessary. Invariably have ev comp at +1, centre weighted metering and centre focus point.

I read somewhere on the web (where, of course, everything is to be believed, but this was couched in such seriously arcane etchnical terms that it impressed) that the 6mp sensor in my K100 has its widest dynamic range at 400ASA so that's where I leave it, particularly in winter when the light's low....

Well I just use Av and manual, just like my ES, or my ME Super, or my LX... :) The results of a study some time back showed that 95% of people using Word used less than 5% of the features.

For walkabout (landscape/buildings mainly) my K20 is set to manual focus, manual shutter & aperture (tend to take on f8 to f16), ISO100 (though find myself changing to 200 or 400 in lower light), spot metering, SR on, WB auto except indoors. Very occasionally I use AF & 'green' for snaps - normally...

For walkabouts I increasingly tend to go out with one prime on the camera and one or two in my pockets. Majority of what I have are manual focus. K-7 usually set to ISO200 with highlight protection switched on. I almost always shoot RAW (but have the USER setting set to best JPEG in natural t...

My preferred starting point, using a K-7, is "P" mode in "Normal" but running it as pseudo AV by using the rear dial and adjusting the aperture to achieve the required DOF. (This does confuse the exif which usually says I'm in AV mode.) I like having the green button to get back to the starting pos...

Re Kris's comment on underexposure, I did have a couple of images that were unexpectedly underexposed in auto mode. However there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the meter when used in manual; if I have an underexposed shot it's because I've forgotten to compensate appropriately for contras...

If I'm just wandering around then I've little compulsion about using the auto mode. Obviously if I'm trying to shoot a close-up or want a specific effect I'll be in Av or M depending on the lens, but if I just want to document something I let the camera sort the exposure out and concentrate on makin...
